Horoscope today: July 16, 2019

See what the stars have in store for your zodiac sign

What is that one thing you have been shying away from, Taurus? Sexual (and sensual) exploration promise to be an important theme for you. Gemini, the Universe is giving you a clear indication of what needs to be eliminated from your life. Are you listening? Virgo, could you be fighting off a 10/10 lover because of somebody who let you down in the past? Understand how you are sabotaging your own growth.

Want to hear a cliché, Aries? All’s well that ends well. It’s that kind of week. The Universe is showing you signs of how far you have come, and how much you have evolved on this journey. Pay attention to your inner temple. Nurture the most important relationship in your life—the one you have with yourself. You will witness an immense transformation in your outer reality as well.

Cosmic tip: The Universe is showing you signs of how far you have come.

If you wake up feeling like peri peri in a salt and pepper world, you’ve got your stars to blame, Taurus. Sexual (and sensual) exploration promise to be an important theme for you. What is that one thing you have been shying away from? Whether it’s taking charge and making the first move, or channelling your inner wild (wo)man, dare yourself to do it now.

The Universe is giving you a clear indication of what needs to be eliminated from your life. Are you listening, Gemini? Remember, there are two people in every relationship. Give where you receive. Don’t allow yourself to be taken for granted. You are being supported in your mission to make space for healthy relationships.

Bring your awareness to things that are keeping you up at night, Cancer. Each thought is charged with intention. You want to be careful of what you are focusing your energy on lest you end up manifesting your worst fears. An Abraham Hicks favourite to bring about a positive shift, “Give your undivided attention to the job of feeling good.”

Cosmic tip: Use the power of manifestation to create a beautiful reality for yourself.

If you are not ready to deepen your commitment, that’s okay. Keeping them in the dark will only complicate matters. Clarity and communication, on the other hand, will help you move to a better place. If you feel like there are certain people around you who are wearing masks, you’re probably right. But, in order to make space for authentic connections, you need to start being real first.

Cosmic tip: Clarity and communication will help you move to a better place.

How deep is your love? Virgo, look for actions, not words. You’ll know if they are willing to commit to you for the long haul. Could you be fighting off a 10/10 lover because of somebody who let you down in the past? Be aware of this tendency. Understand how you are sabotaging your own growth. ”It’s not the sensation of joy that we fear, of course, it’s actually the fear of losing it or the fear of never feeling it again.” This Brene Brown favourite could help you on your way.

All this texting isn’t going to get you anywhere, Libra. If you like them *this* much, why not make a move? You won’t know if the chemistry translates offline unless you go on a couple of dates. For some of you, a throwback moment could be on the cards. Remember, people don’t always change. Tread carefully. You want to be sure of what you are getting yourself into.

While the suitor at hand has all the necessary qualifications, they may not have your best interests at heart. Stay woke, Scorpio. Don’t engage with somebody who plays games unless you know how to. Some of you may start to feel like this is a ‘convenient’ romance. Are they always there when you genuinely need them? Do they make an effort to make you feel seen and heard? If you answered in the negative, you know exactly what you need to do.

Cosmic tip: Don’t engage with somebody who plays games unless you know how to.

Not your circus, not your monkeys, Sagittarius. On your priority list: escaping your 3D reality, accessing higher levels of consciousness, journeying to other realms, connecting with your spirit guides, and saying hello to your totems. Sounds like a party in paradise, if you ask me. This week, you’re also being asked to remain mindful of who you let into your sacred space. Not everybody is deserving of your time and energy.

When your love is this strong, no force in the world can keep you apart. A passionate love affair is on the cards, Capricorn. The Universe wants to experience oneness with your divine counterpart. Living a 100 miles away from the one? Have a conversation about the life you envision together. Work towards dissolving the distance and moving closer.

You are not flawless, Aquarius. Neither is your divine counterpart. Should that stop you from giving this romance a chance? Anything but! Remember to find a pace that works for both of you rather than chase after relationship landmarks. You are exactly where you need to be. Trust.

Expect the unexpected at the start of the week. Or shall we say, a wild card entry from the Universe. Your revelations today: 'the one' is not a myth. Neither is the law of divine timing. The Universe is doing its bit to unite you with your divine counterpart. PS: Some of you could be getting ready to exchange vows.
